B. E.

Great except car blocking pedestrian entry which sucks if you're in a wheelchair or baby mover as you need to lift your stuff over the top. Seemed to be there a while so either staff or a bar fixture. EDIT. Car is still parked there.

I went the other day with my mother for lunch and it was wonderful. The food was nice and hot, and staff were so friendly. The atmosphere is very relaxed, just like you’re at home. For those seeking Alcoholic beverages, there are multiple pages spanning a wide range from wine to beer to gin. For those seeking non alcoholic beverages, the last page provides a very likeable range, including mocktails, regular soft drinks and ginger beer. The pizza is very tasty (we had the one with grilled chicken on - Dannevirke). And although there’s only 5 options for brunch, the creativity in these options doesn’t stop - the Carnegie Hash (basically like an eggs Benedict) was so tasty and definitely one of my top 5 rosti favourites. Any mistakes were owned up to and quickly remedied. Server Shoutout: Liam. He was so kind to us (everyone was) and made us feel like we were meant to be there.

We have been here a couple of times and it's great. The location is beautiful in an old library. Good selection of beers with the tasty Panhead Supercharger on tap. We were quickly met with a warm welcome and seated with 2 adults and 3 kids. Our orders were taken straight away and drinks and food arrived really quickly. The kids and adults meals were really good sizes. The ribs were delicious with a really tasty sauce and loads of meat on the bone. Everyone loved their meals. The place was pretty busy but not noisy, sports was on with the sound off so you could keep an eye on the game. Toilets were clean. We would definitely go back, the whole family enjoyed it.

A. M.

Fantastic service was great food, I recommend the lamb shanks best I have ever had. The spare ribs were plenty full and tasty as my son enjoyed them as well. 💯 Satisfied. Will return to the Good Home Onehunga first time visiting this franchises. Will make a point to dine at a Good Home franchises again.

Good for a easy lunch with the kids. Would probably go back after 4pm next time to get the free kids meals with adults. Hubby had the curry, "it was ok". Kids loved the pizza and nuggets with chips (photo taken too late to get chips). I had lamb salad. Lamb was beautiful (meat was off shanks I think). Dish was saved by the lamb - dressing over powered the whole dish. Overall happy with meal, did the job of filling us up. cost with $95.10. Would give it a go again.

A pleasant upgrade from the last time we were here, more modern looking. Staff are really friendly but I noticed they were getting orders wrong on other tables as well as ours (my wife asked for scrambled eggs & she got poached) no biggie though eggs an egg right? Location is far enough away from the Onehunga hustle & bustle and It appears to be an ideal summer venue for those late afternoon beers.

Hosted a 21st surprise bday here. The food was delicious & beautiful. Love the atmosphere, big and spacious and kids had a space of their own to play. Big open space outside but secure frm the rain and massive screens to watch the games. Love this place!! Definitely will come back.

We stopped in at The Goodhome in Onehunga for brunch and was amazed by the stunning former glory of the library interior of this gastropub slash cafe. Truly stunning! Given the amount of staff visible at this establishment, the service was average at best. Something I would expect and sympathise with had there been half the numbers. We ordered coffee with 3 rounds of the mixed mushrooms with scrambled eggs finished up with the chocolate brownie. Coffee was very good and the sweet treat was heavenly! This place is worth a visit purely for the interior and styling of the place.

J. B.

Good Home in Birkenhead is my regular. Service was good, food was ok, but felt it wasnt as nice as the Birkenhead menu. May have been the dish I ordered. Wine was great. Pricing was great. Its a great vibe and ambiance.

D. S.

A nice and cozy place for a couple of drinks with friends. They sometimes have DJ and you can watch your favourite sport there. Food and staff are also nice. What a lovely surprise in the heart of Onehunga :)

S. W.

Interior is great and their steaks are nearly always fantastic. Customer service is average; definitely awesome with a big group of people wanting to chill without the noise that usually comes from eating in crowded places, easy parking

S. L.

Excellent venue, the owners have done a smashing job doing up the old library, and in doing so helping to show off what Onehunga has to offer. Had the lamb shanks, and the regular portion was ample, and nice to see a restaurant not over charging. The mash with the shank was really creamy and delishious, and the meat in the shank was perfect, nice and tender with an excellent flavour sauce to compliment it. The reason for less than 5 stars was that I ordered a Guinness with it and the bartender poured it short, and on raising the issue, it was tipped away, and replaced with another short poured glass. Best place for a Guinness in Onehunga is The Landing. That said, the lamb shank made the difference and I'd definitely recommend The Good Home for that.

D. L.

Enjoyed all the food we ordered. Our waitress was awesome and very polite and friendly. Great atmosphere too

M. C.

It’s good to see Onehunga finally get a nice bar. This one had an amazing outdoor deck so would be super nice in the summer time. On our visit we tried the chicken baos and some fries. The baos were really good with a nice Asian coleslaw and fresh flavours. Inside there are loads of seating options and a good selection of beer on tap/in bottles.

C. A.

Lamb shank and double cheeseburger were fantastic. Setting was very nice and if you are lucky enough to visit on a sunny day, I would suggest dining on the terrace.

Back to this place after about five years! The interiors have been redone, and they are looking good. The art deco type structure beseeches you (when you are in front of the steps) to climb up to this ‘Good Home’ that has historically been a Andrew Carnegie Library! To ensure that this piece of history is not forgotten, they have a place of pride in the main hall, with books stacked up in a cosy corner; my first with “Books & Beer” in such proximity of each other! I liked it!! Parking will test your patience if, like us, you decide to go there on a weekend evening time. Approached and utilised the ‘route’ (wheel-chair access) that would have been right for one of the group members coming in late; just to be sure. 👍 A wide variety of beers (on tap) and wine are available to ‘enhance’ the experience that this place has to offer. Ordered the Beer of the Month (Panhead-strong, full bodied lager) and wasn’t disappointed at all. The side dishes ordered came with dips which made the palate feel more than satisfied. Somehow, the pizzas ordered, though ‘rich’ in ingredients, lacked the ‘zing’ one was expecting. Was surprised to see a DJ there. Music could have been a little softer (if there was a dance-floor, no one was dancing!). The service was exquisite. If it’s an indicator, I’ll be there again, very soon! Need to explore the other section 😊

T. T.

Awesome night. Great burger nite for 15.00 well worth it. Atmosphere great. Waiter had our order perfect without writing it down...he deserved the tip given. Friends from Canberra enjoyed it as well and will go back home to brag. Thank you Good Home, Onehunga.

w.

Nice place with a good ambiance. Food was delish on a well-sized serving. Superb customer service too

W. L.

Staff are fantastic, the aesthetic is very sophisticated, great selection of booze and delectable food. Music doesn't match any of those positive verbs. But don't let that stop you from checking it out.

P.

Had pizza and a Beer with Pat. Good friendly staff and a beautiful day 😊

A. J.

Been here couple of times, love the food, drinks and people. Can’t complain. 😍 See you soon guys!

M.

Went to Good Home Onehunga yesterday after a netball tournament. They where able to cater for a larger group than we booked for. Fast service with a smile 😁 would definitely go back 👍🏼

T. W.

Went there for a club night, $20 steak night as it happened. Excellent value & well done, I men generally, I don't ha e steak well done.) Will be returning from time to time 👍.

G. M.

Great to be able to see these old character filled buildings put to good use. Really nice indoor space although more family oriented with the library theme & the bogs were very clean & even classy! Good range of menu options both food & beverage although wine list a little short. Had great lamb shank & mash. Service was good without being fantastic, reasonable value, wouldn't hesitate to recommend.

I have visited The Good Home Onehunga 4 times now, twice for lunch and twice for an event (both 21st birthdays) I would like to say that they are AMAZING with events. The layout is very neat and tidy, the decor is quite cool and old-fashioned in the inside area, but towards the outside area and the main deck it's quite modern which is a great mix. The food is amazing, especially the chicken karaage which is so delicious, and always such a big hit at events. The first 21st I went to was my own only a few years back but I didn't think to write a review, they were absolutely amazing and catered for everything we needed, all with a smile. The second 21st was organised by myself and my partner. Considering this was our first time planning a birthday like this they were so easy to deal with and communicate with prior to the night, and on the actual night they were so attentive to us about everything we wanted so that the night could run as smooth as possible. Special mention to Cleo, and another blonde waitress which I regret not getting the name of. They were both so kind and made sure that we were aware of everything such as changes, issues, concerns, etc. we had a special video we wanted to play straight after the speeches and Cleo had watched and waited for us to mention the video so that it would play straight away, I also fussed about the sound and some messages popping up on the screen while the video was playing in front of all our guests and they were more than happy to solve the issue. The security guard was also very helpful and kind making sure we all had a good and safe night. I went into the kitchen to bring out the birthday cake which was quite large and heavy and the staff was yelling "cake coming through" to ensure no one would walk in my way. I went to collect the cake myself because they did not want to risk dropping the cake, and I was more than happy to bring it out again as I had dropped it off into the kitchen earlier that day as well. The security guard also offered to walk in front of me so that he could move anyone out of the way. Overall, the staff at The Good Home Onehunga were more than hospitable and friendly to us and really made our night. Customer service was amazing not only from the two girls who were looking after our event but also the at the guy at the bar who gave us great customer service aswell which I unfortunately also did not catch the name of! Staff really did make it feel like a "Good Home". Very happy with the service here, and it won't be the last time we visit or recommend this joint to others.

L. P.

Great place went here for my sisters 40th. Great bar with good food choices and service was exceptional. Would recommend to all. Prices were reasonable for liquor and food. DJ was flexible as well. All the staff Including security had a smile and you feel welcomed. Cheers for a great night.

A. H.

Former location for The Library Café. This place has been transformed to a fantastic restaurant and bar. A great place to have a drink, grab some good food and hang out with family or friends. Views of both One Tree Hill, and gorgeous sunsets from the outside deck seating.

S.

Beers are beers. Cold and there when needed. Food is prepared quickly and sent with good conversation. Good mix of people here, loved the whanau mix. A good cross section of Aotearoa makes this one of those places where you feel they've got a thing going. Good Home has good vibes.

A. L.

First time coming here, book for a dinner with some friends and my Mum tagged along. It was a bit loud but Christmas parties were going on, the vibe in was so good! The waiter that we had she was so helpful, forgot her name. Always best to book in, the sitting was very good spacious. Honestly we loved the food. Calamari was perfectly battered and I loved my Dannivirke pizza definitely would come back and recommend to people.

M.

Love the awesome restoration and preservation of this iconic heritage landmark building, so in keeping with the era but with a slight contemporary twist but not over the top, beautifully retaining it's old world colonial charm, very spacious, clean and well kept, I booked a table of 14 for a Birthday celebration, the staff were fantastic and service was quick despite being busy with the Sunday lunch rush. Meals were generous, hot, tasty and fresh. Great menu and wine selections and great coffee. Special mention to our server, young Scottish lass who was friendly, accommodating, calm under pressure and efficient. Thank you for making it a special celebration. We will be back!

D. F.

Busy bar and quick service. Maybe a bit on the pricey side. Guinness was well poured and tasted good.

S. O.

What is not to like at this old charm of a venue. I love the IPA selection, the beef and Guinness bangers on mash was really good. I cant say the pizza is worth the price but it was tasty enough. Good place to hang with people from all walks of life, diverse crowd, big screens for the rugby. Inside seating is at a premium so I usually opt for the courtyard which is well heated but not quite the same character as inside. It's become my local go to

A. A.

Typically cool Good Hone venue, in the old Library. Well worth a visit. Large or regular sized wines go well with the tasty menu. Their specials are worth checking out, amd they do a bloody good burger.

L. K.

Check out their daily specials for a good price. Food is decent but the standout is the service. Friendly and attentive but respectful of our space. Also recommend for Breakfast ♥️

H. B.

Great burgers. Fries were thick and tasty. Atmosphere is a bit loud but what you would expect in a pub. Have come a long way from my my first visit when they first opened.

l. d.

Great team of waiting staff, very professional and kind. Food was nice and drinks were reasonably priced. Has a little play area for kids to play in while adults are socialising. What stood out for me was the music, that rnb mix and dj set the tone for the rest of the night. It does need more cover for those rainy days though. Otherwise fantastic place. Support your locals guys

M.

Pleasant lunch experience, hostess was polite and efficient, place ticked over with customers, several working lunch meetings taking place, food served promtly.would go again.

R. S.

Really good and relaxed. Kid friendly atmosphere. Nice place for a Stella in the sun on a Saturday afternoon. Thanks

A. V.

Our team was there for a farewell brunch last week. Everything was on point; the food, the service and the atmosphere. Will definitely go there again. Thank you👍

C. F.

Love going here! Always great service and great food!

M. R.

Great aesthetic, tastefully updated and clever interior has created several different areas of space in this establishment. Bar staff are helpful and happy to accommodate. They have different deals on different nights so their Steak Special night was to our delight! Great meals, never any complaints, walk out satisfied without leaving a hole in your pocket. A favourite!!

J. S.

Beer is great, steak is nice. Shoe string fries are weird on the side of the steak and overcooked. Starters have always been delicious. Great place to have a quiet in the sun on the deck. Also great for hosting family events...we booked out the inside area for a family breakfast...great food, fast and friendly service.

J.

Lovely restuarant. Great staff. Excellent abiance for dinner and a beer or two

S. V.

Nice atmosphere, and makes great use of an old building, looks like they cater for children which is great. They have a trampoline, play house and slide. Food was fine. The place was very busy but I'd expect that as we head into Christmas. Typical sports bar with lots of screens inside and out if you're into that sort of thing. Good beer selection and the location is good as well. Parking can be limited during the day.

J.

Food served fast. Had Lamb shank it was delicious & tender, tried a bit of steak which was a bit tough. Some interesting Library books on display.

C.

Photographed a friends birthday celebration here. The food looked delicious and the main

S.

Reasonable food and prices. Great Quiz Night on Tuesdays. Comfortable atmosphere. Can get crowded, so pays to book ahead. Staff service okay.

V.

Very nice 👍🙂 7/10

We had a function here last weekend, from start to finish we knew we were in good hands. We had the lovely Brooke arrange everything from start to finish. She went above and beyond checking in on everything. We arrived and everything was set to perfection. The kitchen did an amazing job with the food. All our guests expectations were definitely exceeded!! I dont know how many times we heard our guest say they will be back for lunch/dinner for sure! Thank you to the lovely waitresses who continued to clean up after us and make sure everyone was ok. Onehunga's best kept secret. Thank you to the Good Home Onehunga! :)

L. W.

Had dinner here tonight, popular with the after drinks crowd so it was pretty noisy, great place for them! Ordered a range of meals. Had the Danniverke pizza and it was super bland, zero flavour. Burgers were fine, the salmon small plate was very unusual. Good service, very attentive. There’s not many decent places in Onehunga so it’ll suffice if you’re in the area.

A. B.

Beautiful bar / building with fantastic staff and vibe. Definitely a must see if you are in the Auckland area!

J. L.

Nice place. Decor is pretty groovy and still has all the cool old library stuff inside it which makes fun talking points and I like to walk around and read the spines of some of the books on display. Place is really clean and they have nice soaps and fresh baskets of hand towels in the bathrooms. Staff are always very friendly and attentive. Decent selection of beers and cocktails, so I like to come back for that. However, my only gripe is that the food is crazy over priced. I've had a few of the menu items and the quality isn't up to scratch, in my opinion. Eg: ~$15 for a burger, but they use plastic cheese instead of real cheddar. Small stuff, but makes all the difference.

M.

Met up with family for a 73rd birthday get together staff were very polite and the food was delicious thanks for a great afternoon Goodhome.

R. I.

Me and my girls came for Lunch last Friday and it was amazing ! The pork ribs were suculent and the ice cream was the cherry on top 🤗 thank you for having us 💕 just a heads up though come earlier parking is sometimes hard to find.

N. L.

Friendly and fast service. We ordered lunch for 12 people, didn't have to wait long at all and the food was great

j.

So close to my home but never been there but will go back definitely! The food was delisimo I had the rump steak and bread with dips some of my friends calamari and curly fries 😂

D. S.

Revisited November 2017 and had a much better experience. Great service and good food. Nicely refurbished with massive outdoor area providing a great opportunity for a stand out gastro bar in Onehunga. Even the menu looked promising however the experience was let down by the food and service. The meals were ridiculously simple and none of the staff seemed to know what was going on. Hopefully these were just teething issues - will be interested to revisit in 6 months time for a comparison.

A.

Awesome venue. We had a large booking for my birthday there recently. The owners really looked after us and were really helpful in the planning of the event. Staff were amazing and made sure everyone was sorted. They supplied live music and he was awesome - got everyone up and dancing and singing along. One of the best venues for a function or just catching up with mates.

H.

I generally only have drinks here as the food is pretty hit and miss. I've had some terrible meals here, so only go for drinks now. The bar is a great place to hang out though and in good weather the deck area is great. It would be great if they could sort out the quality and consistency of their meals, then I might go more often.

L.

Great location with awesome community feel. Good range of drinks available and good mix of indoor / outdoor. Place was packed for the rugby.

C. H.

Let's start with the staff. My 3 year old was sleepy and took a nap there and one of the lovely staff brought her a blanket to make sure she was nice and warm. How cool is that? The food I had was pizza which was okay without being spectacular, somewhat pricey but a good choice if you're looking for a few drinks and some bar food.

N. K.

Went for dinner here on Friday. Lovely building, staff are friendly and food was good. They had a dj on which was nice but it was so loud we could barely hear each other. Might be an idea to turn the music up after 9 when most people have eaten.

J. M.

Nice Bar with a lively atmosphere. Waitress was nice. I noticed that not all menu items had prices though, including the Surf and Turf that I ordered. When paying later it was $45?! And a cider to go with it was $15. Sorry, calling yourself a 'Gastro' Pub doesn't allow you to charge like that for a steak and 3-4 prawns. The food was nice, but I don't think I've been charged that for a steak anywhere else. I would recommend lowering the prices, or at least making them clear on the menu.

A. C.

I have to admit, based on other online reviews I was a bit hesitant at eating out here. Date nights are premium when you have them once a month...babysitters...etc. Anyway, in short, glad that we both went. The newly refitted interior does credit to the original classic interior. The vibe is excellent; if you're into the pub vibe - good music, clanking of glasses, and the comfortable background pub chatter. We wanted a quieter space to have dinner and chat so we sat in the conservatory. The food was good, the service was friendly, the price reasonable. And if you're into whisky, then they've got probably the best display that I've seen locally. We chatted with the manager - super friendly - and he informed us of upcoming promotions and the hint of live music in the near future. What a nice dinner out: pleasantly surprised and highly recommended.

D.

A lot nicer, now they have finally taken down the scaffolding that was covering the outdoor area! Decent priced drinks but unimaginative selection of beer and cider (blame the cut & paste supply contract?). Avoid the house chard. The usual food menu you'd expect from any other generic gastropub but it's good quality. It is a bit expensive unless you go with the daily specials which are varied.

G. M.

Great venue, met up for a catch up with a group and it was perfect. Helpful fun staff. Platters and food were superb.

B.

Food was good especially the pizzas and service was amazing. Always checking on us constantly. Very family friendly.

C. K.

This is my 'local' - so nice to have somewhere really nice to go in Onehunga. The Good Home has a bit of everything - indoor & outdoor dining, outdoor seating for those wanting to have a drink & bar food, child's play area. Plenty of gas heating for the outdoor area & a new addition is blankets for the hardy souls who prefer to remain outside. The menu contains the usual 'pub grub' options - reasonable prices & decent portion sizes. The bar is well stocked with a variety of beers on tap & many a decent wine list. Glad you came to Onehunga, Good Home!

M.

Great atmosphere, multiple big screens to watch sports and excellent bar areas. Spoilt for choice in seating.

V. T.

Serves drinks and food. Great place for after work catch-up. We do that all the time. But somehow, Everytime I end up eating more and drinking less. It's so freaking tasty man! I could just write about it's food all day. They've never disappointed me. The squid, chicken, pizzas! Oh the pizzas!! Worth going. Moreove, they can host for events too!

m.

Looked after a large group expertly. Great service. Great food.

J.

Beautiful sunny spot ! Nice glass of Rose lovely Barman and beef skewers were tasty !

M. B.

In for a work lunch, staff were wonderful and food was amazing! Managed to get all our meals out within 2 mins, for a large group very well organized. Will be back 🙂

A. T.

Good variety of food. Food tastes good and decent portion sizes-value for money. Good atmosphere, clean and nice looking venue with a rich history. Staff are mostly helpful. We have dined here several times. Enjoy watching sports here. I recommend it to others.

R.

I came here when I started a new role and luckily all the leadership team caught up at this place. Beautiful place, good portion meals and nice beers. The staff was very hospitable and friendly. A big hi-fi from me for the overall experience. Definitely should try this place !

A.

Huge props to Good Home Onehunga for coming through for my group booking: - Delicious food served pretty fast for a bulk order done for 30 people - Fantastic portions, great when the only complaint is that they were 'too big' - Reasonable prices - Great seating area They were really understanding when I mixed up the dates of my original booking. Overall great experience and will definitely be going back for group events.

J. R.

Great place for family. Having a playground for the kids is awesome. The food and service is great as well. The tvs made it a great place to watch a rugby match! Lovely old building great to see it still being used.

J. J.

The building is old and rustic but well maintained, very nice architecture. The food is good and great value for money, you really have to be hungry to finish the serving. The music is lively plus good service. Nice place to enjoy food and relax.

S. F.

Beautifully designed restaurant with great service and delicious food. The kids playground is a bonus with the trampoline! However parents need to keep a close eye on the playground as there can be multiple kids running around there.

L. W.

Not a bad place for a quick bite to eat, in a grand building that was once a library. Had a business lunch in there, good range of small plates with the usual steak and fish and chip dishes one would expect. Vegetarian burger was Quinoa and Feta, with tomato, lettuce and vegetable chutney. Chunky chips were pipping hot. Service was quick for a group of 12. Didn't order a drink, put tap beers, spirits as you would expect. I would eat there again.

L.

We held a surprise birthday party for my husband at Good Home Onehunga. The venue was perfect for a group of 50-60. We were really happy with the food and the service. The team worked carefully with us to plan the event & to help make the evening a great success. Thanks Tony, Mike & team 👍

L. P.

4th time lucky, have to say this place has moved the bar up.. the service, food recommendation from Daniel and of course his entertainment was just superb. So 5* to you all, keep it up. Very happy with my local, will be visiting more often now 😁 oh and they did pick up our voicemail and had our seats reserved. Have been here 3 times, service is average, waiters not aware of what's on menu.. as they take your order and come back saying sorry we do have that today. The shanks and stake were awesome. Going again tonight with some 15 people have been trying to ring but no answer... Not holding my breath on service 😎

T. H.

Service was OK, nothing special. Food is hearty and pub inspired. Decor is very cosy and it's well heated. Our steaks came out medium well when we had asked for them medium rare, we sent them back and they came out medium well again.

N. M.

I love this place. I come here as often as I can and always have amazing service from the lovely staff and enjoy the beautifully decorated old building which gives it a great atmosphere. I visited a few days ago for my low key 68th birthday and was treated like royalty by the lovely young man. He made my birthday very special. The Jalapeno Poppers are the best with the Chipotle sauce for a snack and the Karaage Chicken is also beautiful.

A.

Great pub atmosphere and excellent team.😊

c.

Lovely modern feel in an historic bungalow, and a variety of areas to chill out in. The outside play area for kids (and adults) is a hit too!!

T.

A hidden gem just outside of Mangere. Friendly staff and awesome service. Food even better! Ordered the rump steak with slaw and chips. Also came with a jus that was full of flavor. Enough to feed 2 people. You will get your money's worth here.

C. M.

Its a good venue, nice addition to Onehunga, part of a chain of pubs. Decor great, nice addition to historical building, clear definition between old and new, with a lot of out door space for dining and drinking. Enjoyed my meal, ambiance and staffing were great.

S.

Food is pretty good but it is horribly noisy in the weekend evenings. Much more pleasant for a during the week meal out.

R.

This is a great little restraunt. The old Onehunga library building is great setting for a place to eat and have a drink. And the food is excellant which is served in decent sized portions. Parking is a bit of an issue but still well worth checking out.

F. B.

Awesome spot! Plenty of good beers on tap, and it is well set up in terms of its layout. There is outdoor dining, and indoor also. Great food.. really cant complain

S. R.

Absolutely outstanding, I'm a regular at The Good Home Mt Eden and was not disappointed for a moment. Also extra big thanks to the team for sorting a dish for my Celiac partner. P.s the Cider was a beauty

P.

Only had a cold drink as was meeting with someone. Plenty of different places to sit inside and out depending on weather with a outside play area which must be great for those that have children with them. Parking so so on street it can get busy around there and there is limited parking. Will try food next time as what I saw being brought out looked good.

H. M.

Great ambience. Beautiful building with lots of different seating area options. Food portions were generous and available in different size options. Good selection of items on the menu. Nice local food place.

B. B.

OK. Our visit spoiled by smokers on the deck. I realise they need to smoke somewhere but why in the most popular area. Not overly friendly.

R. L.

It would have been 4stars but we were given a table in their conservatory area....which was cold each time the huge sliding door opened. We requested to dine inside when we booked. They could have at least warned us that we would not be seated inside. Food was okay. Beer $15 a pint.

S.

Not many places with this ambience in Auckland. Great menu, average pizza (scone dough base) so get something else instead. Wish they did potato skins instead of wedges with cheese / sour cream. Nice staff. Pretty good wine list. Outdoor area for vapers.

p.

Very good place nice food staff very friendly also dog friendly

g.

Brilliant venue. The place deserves to be a magnet in Onehunga. Could be a neat place for a private function. Food/service/value equation not quite excellent yet but not off- putting either. Definitely going back, and would recommend.

W. H.

Menu is really good but on a Sunday a lot of the menu items weren't available. Our waitress looked bored and uninterested and forgot to bring our dogs water after we asked. But other restaurants often have unappealing menus... not this place.

B. M.

Brilliant service from the young waitresses very cheerful. Food and beer very nice, Ceasars salad 😋will definitely be back again 🤗

A.

It's a great venue for lunch, and close to my office, but their opening time is too late in the morning. Morning tea and business meetings are being missed, and staff are already there, but they wont serve coffee due to licensing laws? Very strange.

L. W.

Food was great and came out hot, even though we were a group of 9.

T. M.

Friendly staff, great atmosphere, great coffee and great beer! The staff was overwelmingly welcoming and kind to us, they let us come in and use their wifi to sort out our troubles after getting robbed today at One Tree Hill where our ID'S, credit cards and Passports were stolen. They really helped us through a difficult day!! The coffee and beer were also a great help :)

K.

Holy god. This place has the best ribs ever. I want to inject myself with the sauce. 5 stars. Great food great mood and great service. 10/10 would recommend.

Nice space. Excellent mushrooms on toast. Buns used for burgers are quite poor quality though very dry. Five stars if buns were better.

R. L.

Great atmosphere, and friendly bar staff. Comfortable and cosy! I didn't try any of the food so can't comment on that but everything else was great.

D.

Great place. Best for Tuesday quiz with Aaron. The bar and service are top quality amd the food has improved so much over the years.

M. A.

Food is a bit pricey but big portion, the taste is not bad. Good service and good lay out of seating.

D.

This is our regular place where us work mates get together and wind down. Everything from atmosphere, staff, food, space, is awesome. And parking on the doorstep. Love the tables out front in the sun

J.

VERY cool atmosphere and bar tenders! I am who doesnt like the idea of drinking in an old library! I just a bit bummed bc I wanted to buy a shirt but the would favorite wasnt spelled favourite...so my American self declined it's lack of authenticity. Let me know when you change the lettering!

J.

Family friendly but also adult friendly. Tasty food and good value pub drinks. The lemon lime and bitters was rocking in taste and value.

T. C.

Updated from previous review. Now initial teething issues have been fixed this place has got it together. Staff have upped the game now they know what's what. Look forward to updating to 5 stars soon, only reason why not at moment is food isn't consistent quality. It's good but occasionally not great.

G.

The Good Home Onehunga is a quaint "home away from home"! Great local restaurant, with great service and food! Love the library!

l. o.

A bit expensive for what it is (pub grub in a grubby part of Onehunga) but the service was really good and the children's playground on a split level is an excellent addition. We had a group of 20 and the best meal appeared to be the Hawaiian Chicken Burger.

D.

Unreal experience and food here. We travelled from Australia and a friend bought us here for lunch. The beer variety is a refreshing change from.tge norm.

A.

Fantastic architecture and great to see this building in Onehunga restored. unfortunately the food was somewhat supermarket in quality. Is this NZ's version of Wetherspoons?

R. J.

I like the old building - very cool feeling walking in to it. Nicely set out, décor is warm and inviting. And the food. Ooooooooooooooo Wonderful

L. A.

Under renovations otherwise 5 star. Great atmosphere, lots of space and different areas to sit depending on your vibe. Something for everyone.

N. S.

Great local! Fabulous, sensitive and funky update to gorgeous heritage building! Excellent food and super staff! Great seperate area for families with kids - jungle gym fort, trampoline etc!

J.

Definitely a pub first, but the food is good. They've done a great job of renovation this old old building.

K.

Beautiful building, inside and out. friendly staff, very clean toilets. We only stopped here for pint and a snack after going to dress smart. Highly recommend coming here if your in the area

D.

The service and food were great but very expensive. Our USA visitor got a Margarita and we think the waved the tequila over the top and forgot to put it in. Very disappointing for the cost and we won't be back.

R.

Good atmosphere, kid friendly, food is generally very good. Especially lamb shanks, ribs good, play ground nice,

D.

Food is nothing too special but it is nice enough and the pub has a great atmosphere and is always busy. Service at Onehunga good home is great.

C.

Decent range of beers and wines. Always get the karage chicken. Pizzas are great. Pork buns, erm, ok but not great. Simple, honest pub that's consistant

j.

Decent pub food and beers. Not the best atmosphere and quite expensive for that it is. Get the daily meal deal for best value.

G.

Service good be a bit better, they're inclined to forget the diners once meal delivered to table.

A.

Food portions were big and tasty. Bar area was hot during the day and the window opened to the where people were smoking but other than that really good

L.

I had lunch with colleagues. They have very tasty food, service was fantastic. The only issue was little bit slow after placed orders. Lots of parking around.

One of the best burgers I've ever had

J. C.

Quite an impressive refit, and the food was OK, but pretty expensive for what you get and the service was slap-dash - cutlery not brought with food etc.

R.

Real gem of a find in Onehunga. Food is pretty good but real star is the building and interior, an old library restored to it's beauty.

T. C.
